Marrying vintage aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, these headphones offer a sublime auditory experience that caters to the most discerning of listeners.
Design and Build Quality
The Distant Mountain captivates with its retro-inspired design, reminiscent of the golden age of personal audio. The headband, crafted from solid stainless steel and adorned with genuine lambskin, ensures both durability and unparalleled comfort. The coaxial CNC-machined body exudes a high-gloss finish, presenting an extraordinary high-end texture that is both versatile and fashionable. 
Sound Performance
At the heart of the Distant Mountain lies an innovative 40mm composite topological diaphragm. This redesigned dome and corrugated ring deliver crisp, transparent treble and profound, surging bass. Enhanced by neodymium super magnets and an acoustic structure dedicated to small-sized headsets, the Distant Mountain presents richer sound details and a more natural treble extension, immersing the listener in melodious music. 
Comfort and Usability
The sponge ear pads are designed with both softness and breathability in mind, ensuring prolonged listening sessions remain comfortable. The headband supports fine length adjustments, with clearly visible scales to alleviate any concerns about symmetry. The inclusion of a stranded-free 5N single crystal copper IEM cable, coupled with a detachable MMCX design, offers high playability and customization for the user. 
Conclusion
The Roseselsa Distant Mountain is a testament to superb build quality and exceptional sound performance. Its unique tuning direction, reminiscent of high-fidelity in-ear monitors, combined with its luxurious design, makes it a standout choice for audiophiles seeking both style and substance. While it may require amplification to truly shine and could benefit from thicker earpads for optimal comfort, its value proposition remains compelling. For those who appreciate a blend of retro aesthetics and modern audio excellence, the Distant Mountain is an unrivaled choice. 
In the grand symphony of high-fidelity audio equipment, the Roseselsa Distant Mountain plays its notes , offering a professional and luxurious listening experience that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
I love the compatibility and the bill quality of the AUDIOCULAR d07, it works well with my samsung m53, . I also liked that u provide a case along with it , 😉
Good Sound Quality. Bass Treble Mid Too God Under 2k Price, Lookwise Good & Ear Fit & Gaming Experience To Good. & clear Sound Sense.
Earphone Case Too Good 👍 I like it.
Fast Delivery in 2 day delivery In My Address.
This is a solid technical iem with a very neutral tuning. Its a keeper iem for those who already have a collection of somewhat coluored or tasteful sounding iems under 10k .
Increased the volume as well as clarity of audio.
Thanks to the audio store for a quick delivery
This was my first experience with The Audiostore and it was welcoming. Happy with the service provided and customised suggestions as per need. Looking forward to buy next one. Thanks.
Awesome work
Fantastic easy to use dongel dac by Shanling. Build quality is also 👌. For a budget music lover this is a value for money. TAS keep providing such affordable quality product to us always...👍
Sparkling music, enhance volume and gives extra wide sound instrument but some time later connection gone if audio is not play
The CD player works as advertised. The single ended headphone jack has decent output, able to drive IEMs at a loud volume level. The coaxial output also works with a 3.5mm male to coaxial cable hooked to a pre-amp. Sound signature is unolocured in the territory of neutral to slightly bright neutral and corresponds well with recording and mastering of records. Worth the money imo.
If my current HiBy R6 III (Gen 3, ESS) is compared to driving a BMW, the R6Pro MAX is a Rolls Royce.
It is easy, smooth, and suave. It doesn’t make a big deal of representing a soundstage that’s exactly studio-like. Natural, not heavy on any particular frequency (do not expect heart thumping bass) and extremely coherent. It’s like you’re sitting in front of the artists themselves, in a studio, with a performance made just for you alone. Each frequency - the lows, mids, highs and everything else in between - are effortlessly detailed and precise.
All IEMs I have tried with it, i.e. the 64 Audio Volür, Symphonium Meteor, Penon Quattro and Kiwi Ears Quintet are driven best at Low or Middle Gain, with me personally finding that High Gain makes it all muddy. I am yet to try it with my HiFiMan Ananda Planar headphones, and will update this review as the journey with this masterpiece of a device continues. Rarely do I find myself being fondly attached to any device so quickly. It may be safe to say the R6Pro MAX does have something special. Only time will tell.
Lastly, the design is phenomenal and classy. The weight of the unit is evenly balanced and not top-heavy, making it very easy to handle in spite of its 500 gramme weight.
My only gripe, because I just HAVE to find one is that the case provided is quite impractical as the device tends to slide out from the top opening, and it interferes with the UI gestures. On the flip side, the quality of the case is top-notch making the device feel extremely premium with its carbon fiber-like finish.
Kudos to HiBy. Clearly a lot of effort and thought has been put into introducing something like this. We may be looking at a potential market game-changer.
(All IEMs have been tested with the OE 2DualCPS Silver Upgrade Cable)
Superb Audio quality, Enhance the sound separation for my moondrop chu 2. i enjoyed a lot. Built quality also so good. Best Budget DAC recommended.
Bought the KZ Castor Pro from Audiostore, and I must say, I am extremely happy with my purchase. At first, I was a bit hesitant to order from them, but they completely surprised me with their service.
The delivery was super fast—much quicker than I expected! I couldn't believe how quickly the IEMs reached me, which made the entire shopping experience even more satisfying.
The product AUDIOCULAR D07 is a phenomenal DAC & Amp. It is suitable for all kinds of wired earphones. The output impedance of this DAC is sufficient for inexpensive as well as Expensive earphones. Overall I satisfied very much with this product. Thank you.
I really liked Moondrop Chu II DSP, which was my first IEM. I felt like I needed some more bass. This is perfect. Sounds exactly same as Chu II and with more bass. Shipping and delivery was also very fast. Got it delivered in 3 days. Good delivery and good product.
